Met Éireann has confirmed the sunny weather isn't going anywhere

The national forecaster has confirmed that the beautiful weather is sticking around, with forecasters predicting a ten-day stint of sunshine and high temperatures.

According to reports, the sunshine will likely last for another ten days.

Deputy Head Forecaster Elizabeth Coleman told RTÉ's Claire Byrne that the warm weather will continue into next week.

She said:

"We'll continue that way really through the week, so lovely sunny weather across the country," she said.

"Temperatures dropping slightly back to maybe late teens, early 20s, as we go towards the end of the week and the weekend, but lots of sunshine for most people across the country, so get out there and enjoy it while you can," she added.

"It's going to continue for the next week as well. We'll just have slight incursions of those low-pressure systems that are bringing those showers up over the southern part for the next few days.

"But it looks in the forecast for the next ten days that we will have sunny high pressure with those temperatures late teens to early 20s."

We'll be squeezing in as many barbecues, trips to the beach, and pints outside as possible over the next ten days.
